Recently AIL staff traveled from the head office out to Daikundi Province. This is one of the most deprived areas and lacks facilities. It is a 24 hour walk from Kabul and many of the roads are difficult for vehicles to pass. The people are very poor but eager to learn and improve their lives. AIL provided a series of teacher training seminars, workshops and delivered food aid. The food aid went to 200 of the poorest families. The packages included rice, oil, tea, cucumbers, beans. Families also received shampoo and soap and winter clothing.
Staff met one lady called Ruby who said,” I live in Sukhtuk village, Nili city, Daikundi province. My husband died and I have five children. I am illiterate and my only property is ten chickens. It is a hard life in this corner of the city and in the heart of the Neel Mountains. Every moment my children and I die and come back to life. Some nights my eldest son goes to sleep hungry so that his sister and I can have his bread. As a mother, I cry a lot even when I sleep.”
Food aid makes a huge difference to women like Ruby, who struggle every day to makes ends meet.
